Shep's got the magic formula, keep making more horsepower.

I never said he could dump that weight, I was just stating that he is way overweight in his glass. I would say he could probably dump a few hundred pounds though by taking out all the glass and maybe a carbon fiber rear hatch. By saying he 600 pounds overweight is actually a compliment considering how fast he is going even with that disadvantage in his class. But I also agree that his car would not look as good if he went the full distance with making the car lighter. But in his class there are no points for how stock appearing the car is. Its about tin cans with lots of HP that go from point A to point B the fastest.
I would be curious to know how much Gardellas car weighs?
